Happy New Year to Everyone!

2007 has been such a great and crazy year for us personally and the studio.  I hope that the treated everyone well and that 2008 is even better.  Our wish for everyone this year is time with Family & Friends.  I think that will be me only real resolution for 2008 more time for my family & friends.  I don't regret one minute that I spent with them in 2007 so it seems like a good goal!  Come to think of it we took on a lot of community projects this last year and I feel great about those as well.  While it was nice to receive the Humanitarian of the Year at the Beautiful Bakersfield Awards, I think the families I met during the year that brought me to that award mean even more.  Of course the Relay for Life was our first year and we are already raising for 2008!  We had a great time and this year I wont be in a wheelchair for it! 
My only real regret for 2007.... at some point during the year I turned around and my kid grew up.  Just wasn't ready for that to happen.  Mike and I are now looking at two beautiful young ladies that are going to dances and actually care if what they are wearing matches.  For those of you giggling and thinking ha ha boys are next- stop!  I'm looking into convents as I type.

So because I feel so blessed this last year, and maybe those prescribed pain killers make me a little loopy.... let's have a little thank you bonus for my favorite blog readers!

Here you go....
From 12:01 am Jan 1, 2008 to 11:59pm-Jan 1,2008  Pacific time....

The first 5 people to send us your favorite photo YOU took this last year will win a fun little "artist has gone mad and is bored session".
Hey, I bought a bunch of stuff and haven't gotten to play with any of it yet!  Besides, you all kept me so busy this last year I never did do my Artist Mondays!  So let's have some fun and be a little crazy and just to sweeten it up a little.... we have a special new something for you as well... can't tell you that yet, but you will like it.

:)  Happy New Year!

inky-dinky-do holiday song winners!

OK so we had to pick two- there was just no way to just pick one.  Consdiering the Flemming kids called and sang theirs and wrote it themselves we just couldn't resist!

Winner #1- Barbie Thompson

Her Entry:
SNAP AND FLASH (Jingle Bells)
By Barbie Thompson

Dashing through the crowd,
With one big, casted leg
To the photo op. she goes
Stephanie’s on her way

Snap and flash…Bada Bing
Find an angle that’s just right
It’s Jen and Madison she brings
To help her limp just right

OH…snap and flash, snap and flash, snap and flash this way
OH how hard it is to DASH with one big casted leg

Bonus points for remembering I'm out on medical leave right now and while I would like to think I'm dashing around the reality is more like... lounging with a cast propped up!

and our second winner:  The Flemming girls!
Their entry:

The 12 days of Christmas
Brought to you by inky-dinky-do

On the 12th day of Christmas Mrs. Stephanie gave to me:
12 Christmas cards,
11 flashers flashing,
10 cameras a snapping,
9 families posing,
8 pictures a taken,
7 smiles a smiling,
6 dogs a barking,
5 toys from the treasure chest,
4 families waiting,
3 babies crying,
2 parents fighting,
And a photographer having a breakdown!

Written by Brooklynn and Sydney Fleming

the kids did such a great job and the enthusiasm with which they sang really did set them apart and have us in stiches.  Bonus points to Mom Marty for having them not sing each verse repeating and taking 30 minutes to sing 1 song! 

This was fun!  Both of our winners received gift certificates for petite session & 11x14!

Thanks again guys!
